Are you a current Brookline Bird member who is an artist or photographer and who would like to have your work showcased on our web site? We want to encourage not only photographers, but other artistic fields such as literature, music, painting, graphic art, crafts, and the like.
If you are interested in this and your work has birds as its main theme, please send your submission to Dave Williams at: dave.williams6@gmail.com
The proposal should include:
- a one to two paragraph write-up of yourself and your work;
- a photograph of yourself (optional);
- three to five photographs you would like to appear on the web site;
- title and caption for each image, such as date, location, camera used, setting, etc.;
- a link to your web site (if you have one);
- social media addresses
The submissions will be reviewed to verify their appropriateness for the club web site (the theme should be about birds), and that the artist is a current BBC member. Accepted submissions will then be randomly selected and posted on our web site during the year.
